Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish the 'national importance' of his proposed endeavor, as required by the first prong of the Dhanasar framework. The AAO found the record did not demonstrate that the petitioner's work would impact the field more broadly beyond his own clientele, nor did it show significant potential for job creation or substantial positive economic effects for the United States.
